report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel One of my favorite things about Stila, aside from the pretty colors, is the packaging. For new seasonal collections especially, Stila always comes up with something special and fun. This collection is presented in colorful red and white gingham recycled cardboard, making it look just like a picnic basket. Both eye and cheek colors are in oversized, multiple shade pots this season, making it easy to mix and match to create the best look for you. In Full Bloom Cheek Color Duo ($28) has both a warm and a cool pink, both of which are sheer enough to complement any skin tone. I like to sweep mine on with an oversized powder brush to get a fuller flushed effect. For eyes, there are two new eye shadow trios ($28), Picnic In The Park (medium pink, medium lavender, pink transformer) and Picnic At The Beach (warm peach, melon, gold transformer). I chose Picnic in the Park for my cool coloring and find the shades are sheer, wearable and easy to layer and blend. For lips, you can choose from soft, pale sheer Lipsticks ($16) in Darla (pale peach beige), Miranda (light cantaloupe orange), or Juliette (sheer watermelon pink). If you like a glossy finish, the new Lip Glaze ($24) shade Grapefruit (pale frosty pink) tastes great and has just the right amount of shine. I love the easy to use pen design - you just click the base to dial up the color and it dispenses onto the attached lipbrush. Perfect for popping in your purse or pocket! Nails looks so fresh and simple with new Nail Shimmer ($12) shades Chantico (light milky pink-peach), Bona Dea (sheer soft pink), and Rhea (sheer pink/lavender pearl). Both Chantico and Bona Dea would be perfect for the clean look of a French manicure.
